GOW : Irving Penn

Glamour of the Week : Irving Penn

Monday night I had the privilege to listen to Anna Wintour (Editor of Vogue) speak about the beloved photographer Irving Penn. Penn was the photographer for Vogue Magazine for decades. He passed away recently and Anna came to speak to us at The Pratt Institute about his work. Everyone perceives Anna as being austere. At the end of her talk about her friendship and collaborations with Penn, you could sense the emotion building up and a tear come to her eyes. she was real.

Penn's body of work is incredibly beautiful. I urge everyone to do a little research.
